Really, really bad
The narrator's performance is over the top. There is a lot of repetition of the mother's inner thoughts in this story, which becomes tedious, lines like..."the person I had been is no longer the person I was", and "facts are not truth and truth is not fact". Huh??
The plot is thin and not well developed. The author just randomly adds in a veritable clown car full of tired plot tropes. The writing style is cheesy and trite.
The characters were not well developed and their interactions were not convincing. Some of the dialogue is cringeworthy....teenage son to mother..."you were upstairs sleeping with your boyfriend in the bed dad built!" Mom's response..."we weren't in the BED!" Aack! Make it stop.
I had to force myself to finish this one.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
